« Willow Tree Half Marathon women's winner: Madeleine Marecki | Today | Cox Sports Marathon women's winner: Alyson Venti » May 5, 2008Cox Sports Marathon men's winner: Blaine MooreThe Cox Sports Marathon represented Blaine Moore’s 13th marathon in his 12th state, but more importantly, it marked his first victory. Finishing no higher than seventh (at the 2005 Mystic Places Marathon) in his previous attempts, the 28-year-old Portland, Me. resident won yesterday’s 26.2-mile event of the Cox Providence Rhode Races in 2:43:28, finishing a minute and 10 seconds ahead of Chris Schulten, 36, of Middlefield, Conn.
``Within about a mile or so, I met up with a guy named Devin Jones,’’ said Moore, a member of the Dirigo Racing Club. ``He was running his first one and was hoping to do about the same pace, so I ran with him for about 16 miles. . . . . I just kind of pulled away from there; his knee was bothering him a little bit. And then I was just reeling in the guy that was in front, and as you’re coming along that bike path along the river, there’s a little hill before you get off of it, and he just started walking near the top of that and I caught him and I was just with the bikers from then on.’’ Posted by Carolyn Thornton Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsPost a comment |
